parallel-plate capacitor is made of two square plates 25 cm on a side and 1.0 mmapart. The capacitor is connected to a 50.0-V ba

ttery. With the battery still connected,the plates are pulled apart to a separation of 2.00 mm. What are the energies stored inthe capacitor before and after the plates are pulled farther apart? Why does the energydecrease even though work is done in separating the plates.

Answer:

6.9 x 10^-7 J  

3.5 x 10^-7 J

Explanation:

<u>Identify the unknown:  </u>

The energies stored in the capacitor before and after the plates are pulled farther apart  

<u>List the Knowns: </u>

Voltage of the battery: V = 50 V

Area of the plates: A = 0.25 x 0.25 = 0.0625 m^2

Original distance between the plates: d = 1 mm = 10^-3 m

New distance between the plates: d = 2 mm = 2 x 10^-3 m

Permittivity of free space: ∈o = 8.85 x 10^-12 C^2/Nm^2-

<u>Set Up the Problem:   </u>

Capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor:  

C=∈o*A/d

Energy stored in a capacitor:  

U_c=(1/2)*V^2*C

<u>Solve the Problem:   </u>

<u>Before the plates are pulled farther apart:  </u>

C = 8.85 x 10^-12 x 0.0625/10^-3 = 5•53 x 10^-10 F  

U_c = (1/2) x (50)^2 x 5.53 x 10^-10= 6.9 x 10^-7 J  

<u>After the plates are pulled farther apart:  </u>

C = 8.85 x 10^-12 x 0.0625/2*10^-3 = 2•77 x 10^-10 F  

U_c = (1/2) x (50)^2 x 2•77 x 10^-10 = 3.5 x 10^-7 J  

The energy decrease because the capacitance decrease, so the stored charge decrease and transferred to the battery

An electron enters a region with a speed of 5×10^6m/s and is slowed down at the rate of 1.25×10^-4m/s². How far does the electro
Mashutka [201]

1) The distance travelled by the electron is 1\cdot 10^{17} m

2) The time taken is 4.0\cdot 10^{10}s

Explanation:

1)

The electron in this problem is moving by uniformly accelerated motion (constant acceleration), so we can use the following suvat equation

v^2-u^2=2as

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance travelled

For the electron in this problem,

u=5\cdot 10^6 m/s is the initial velocity

v = 0 is the final velocity (it comes to a stop)

a=-1.25\cdot 10^{-4} m/s^2 is the acceleration

Solving for s, we find the distance travelled:

s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}=\frac{0-(5\cdot 10^6)^2}{2(-1.25\cdot 10^{-4})}=1\cdot 10^{17} m

2)

The total time taken for the electron in its motion can also be found by using another suvat equation:

v=u+at

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time taken

Here we have

u=5\cdot 10^6 m/s

v = 0

a=-1.25\cdot 10^{-4} m/s^2

And solving for t, we find the time taken:

t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{0-5\cdot 10^6}{-1.25\cdot 10^{-4}}=4.0\cdot 10^{10}s
